The problem with this is that weed smells. From just having it on you to smoking it, if you have good weed someone is going to smell it. Terpenes(also called terpenoids) are responsible for the intense aromas of cannabis. Cannabis genetics have evolved over the decades, and so has the smell. The smell of weed can land you in trouble.

Many places and people still frown upon or outright oppose you smoking weed.

Getting Rid of Weed Smell When Smoking Indoors

Say your smoking at home or in a rental property and don’t want others to know. You might not be able to sesh like Snoop Dogg, but you can still get the job done. Use a smoke buddy (or sploof). You can buy one or make one yourself. Here’s what you’ll need.

Fabric softener sheets

Paper towel or toilet paper roll

Place the dryer sheets inside of one end of your paper towel roll. When you smoke, blow the smoke through one end of your smoke buddy toward the dryer sheets allowing the smoke to be filtered. This method works best with a one-hitter or bowl with a cap and an exhaust fan in a bathroom. Blow the smoke towards your exhaust fan. When finished, discard your disposable smoke buddy in the trash.

Placing a fan in a window reversed can keep the smell out of a room, but the downside is that fan could blow that weed where you don’t want it. Like in a nosy neighbor’s window, the direction of children, or towards authorities. So be aware of which way and where the wind blows before using this method.

Combine your smoke buddy with the methods mentioned earlier in this article in “Different Ways to Keep the Smell of Weed at Bay.” Methods like cooking something, changing clothes, or burning candles. When these methods are used with the smoke buddy and exhaust fan technique, many sesh’s are successes.

Getting Rid of Weed Smell When Smoking in Your Car

But, if you are, say, parked or driving on private property, in a place like Colorado, your car may be the perfect spot for a sesh. That doesn’t mean you want the smell of your weed to linger like a Cranberries song.

Roll down or crack the windows. Try to avoid using the heat or air as the smell may stay in your vents. Auto air freshers like the clip-on ones made by Yankee Candles on your vents for when you turn the heat or air on after you smoke are a big help. You can even diffuse essential oils like the ones you can find at Oils of Time. Having an odor neutralizer like Kushley or Febreeze will also give you an extra layer of protection.

If you’re a cigarette smoker, now is the time to light up. Remember it’s not just your car the smell of weed will stick to its also you. Chew gum after smoking, have hand sanitizer handy or keep a body spray close. If you smoke, try to find a vape cartridge you like and a battery that gives you the hit you need. They can be a lifesaver.

You can vape in a crowd 99% of the time, and nobody will know you’re not vaping e-juice.
